Production calculator

Choose Latium, Albion or Aegyptus, select a resident tier, and enter your population and actual residents per home. The calculator below turns occupied homes into goods demand and the number of final production buildings required at 100 percent productivity.

Enter population and home occupancy

Consumption is charged per residence. A population total on its own cannot tell you how many homes need supply, because services, goods and bonuses affect occupancy. Use the actual average number of residents in your homes. For example, 1,000 residents with 20 residents per home means 50 residences. This example is arithmetic, rather than a claim that a tier always houses 20 people.

Choose your consumption setting

The published calculator data lists Low, Medium, High and Very High consumption at factors 1, 1.25, 1.5 and 1.75. Choose the setting used by your save. Update 3.0 introduced the very high option for new saves; an older save retains its existing consumption setting. The rate table identifies its evidence as one source: the public Anno 117 Calculator data, checked on 6 November 2026.

Read the building result

Demand is measured in tonnes per minute. Each final factory count is rounded up, so a requirement for 2.2 factories displays three buildings. A final producer processes the good itself: upstream farms, mines, fuel and transport still need supply. An import label means that the published producer belongs to a different region. Use the linked production layouts to plan its inputs, and the goods guide to understand the chain.

Share and compare

Changing a field updates the page address. Copy that address to keep the selected region, tier, population, occupancy and consumption setting. The English and German versions use the same dated data and formula. A different mix of supplied needs changes actual demand, so consider which goods your residences consume when planning a larger population.
